We would like to congratulate Dispatcher Nikki Schmidt on her retirement. After 30 plus years of service, she has helped so many people along the way and brought comfort to many in their time of need. We thank you for your dedication and service to the Plattsburgh Police Department and the community as a whole. We wish you the best. Thank you!

We would like to congratulate Sergeant TJ Rabideau on a happy and healthy retirement! Sergeant Rabideau’s last call for service was on Novmeber 28th after dedicating 22 years of service to the City of Plattsburgh community and police department. During this time, he served as one of the Presidents for the Local 812 for many years. The yearly donations the Local 812 makes to the Clinton County Christmas Bureau couldn’t have been done without the time, dedication and space that Sergeant Rabideau and his family have offered throughout the years. His strong connections to the community and goal to give back more than ever before each year will be greatly missed. The Local 812 has big shoes to fill with Sergeant Rabideau’s retirement. Thank you for your knowledge, dedication and commitment not only to the City of Plattsburgh Police Department but to the community as a whole.

Today, the Plattsburgh Police Department Union was able to stop by the Christmas Bureau with their annual toy donation. This year was the largest donation we have ever made! Of course, we could not have done this without the help of our local businesses and community members. It truly is a team effort and we are proud to be apart of such a generous community! Today, we packed a U-Haul with over $25,000 in toys!!! That makes a grand total of over $100,000 over the past 9 years. Thank you again to all that helped us make a child’s Christmas morning merry and bright!! 🎅 🤶 🎄

Plattsburgh Police Local 812, Plattsburgh Professional Firefighters Local 2421, and Plattsburgh Moose Lodge #2390 came together to make sure Momot Elementary got some communication boards this year! These new communication boards will ensure Momot students with limited verbal abilities can express their needs, preferences, and allow them to make decisions. We take pride in serving our community, and it was our pleasure to participate in this project!

Humans have this incredible ability that separates them from all other living organisms. We have this ability to associate, to commiserate, to feel things on such a level that we can love and sacrifice for strangers, simply because they draw breath like us.

Every year since September 11, 2001, Americans, humans, have tried to find a way to honor the memory of the men and women who perished on that day, as well as those who have passed since. Politicians, journalists, artists, first responders, and so many more all try to find the right words, to say something meaningful, something genuine. We try to reach out into the air to show those who are still suffering and still in pain from this day that we suffer and are in pain with them. We also try to speak into whatever comes after life to say how we feel to those who faced such terror with bravery and perserverance.

There are no words that can ever be said to do this. But, as we are incredible creatures, us humans, we can do something more meaningful: we can remember. If we remember the men and women, the sons and daughters, the mothers and fathers, the brothers and sisters, the beings that were once us but now have transcended into something different, than they will never be forgotten. So long as we remember, they will live forever.

Today, we remember. Tomorrow, we will remember. We will never, ever forget.

God Bless America.
